Chapter 380: 30x Gravity! Is Xu Jingming

"A typical fourth-rank upper-tier enhancement-type adept can withstand about 18 times gravity."

"Xu Jingming is a lightning-type adept; his gravity tolerance should be much lower—maybe seven or eight times gravity is his limit?"

"I heard he also cultivates body-strengthening combat techniques; shouldn't he at least handle over ten times gravity?"

"Indeed, that multiplier should be about right."

"......"

A typical adult adept, even a slightly muscular one, weighs only around eighty to ninety kilograms.

With eighteen times gravity, the weight becomes merely 1, 20 kilograms.

That weight isn't even challenging for a fourth-rank adept—any first-rank peak adept could lift it easily.

But gravity isn't a weight carried on the back—it acts evenly on every single cell of the body!

Though adepts have robust physiques, their internal organs remain extremely fragile.

Thus, even a fourth-rank upper-tier enhancement-type adept can withstand less than twenty times gravity!

As for Xu Jingming, the lightning-type adept,

most trainees in the training hall guessed his maximum gravity tolerance would be around ten to fifteen times.

"Ding, access granted. Welcome, Xu Jingming, to the gravity chamber."

"You have thirty minutes of free usage time."

Amid countless gazes, Xu Jingming pulled out his student ID and swiped it at the door.

His identity was verified, and he entered the gravity chamber.

The gravity chamber's door opened,

and he stepped inside.

His gaze swept the room, taking in its entire layout at a glance.

Except for the right wall, all other walls and the ceiling were constructed from alloy.

The right wall, though transparent, was not glass.

It was made of an unknown material, appearing extremely thick.

"Respected student Xu Jingming, how many times gravity do you require?" A mechanical voice echoed in the chamber.

"Five times."

For his first time using the gravity chamber, Xu Jingming chose a conservative multiplier.

Hum~~

As soon as he spoke, a soft hum filled the air, and he immediately felt his entire body grow heavier.

This heaviness wasn't strong—it was almost negligible.

"This is five times gravity? I don't feel much at all."

Xu Jingming murmured, "Increase the multiplier—add ten more!"

Boom!!

The next instant, fifteen times gravity crushed down on Xu Jingming.

He could feel pressure on his skin, bones, even his heart and lungs—pressure he had never experienced before!

Yet even this immense gravity caused not the slightest tremor in his body.

The gravity multiplier set inside the chamber was visible to those outside.

So when they saw Xu Jingming immediately jump to fifteen times gravity, the crowd erupted into hushed murmurs.

"Xu Jingming's physical condition is impressive!"

"Obviously—he won the national university league's solo championship; he's got some physique."

"Fifteen times gravity? Impressive! Xu Jingming really has some skill."

"......"

Because internal organs are so fragile,

even robust adepts

need time to adapt when first using the gravity chamber, gradually increasing the multiplier.

Xu Jingming jumped straight to fifteen times gravity—and his body didn't waver at all.

This clearly indicated this wasn't his limit.

"Twenty times gravity should be about his max—anything higher, and he'd be crushed to the ground."

Twenty times gravity was the highest estimate most present adepts made for Xu Jingming.

But Xu Jingming inside the chamber was unsatisfied.

Even at fifteen times gravity, he still felt almost nothing...

"Double it! I want thirty times gravity!"

Boom!!

Gravity increased again!

This time, Xu Jingming's shoulders dipped slightly—he finally felt some pressure.

Outside, a large group of adepts, including Lin Hui, fixed their gazes on the chamber.

When they saw the display jump to thirty times gravity, their expressions froze, then erupted into stunned exclamations.

"What the hell? Who taught him to use the gravity chamber like that? He just doubled the multiplier in one go!"

"That's bold, but at least he held on."

"Only a fifth-rank enhancement-type adept should handle thirty times gravity—how can Xu Jingming's physique be this strong?!"

"......"

The gravity chamber is meant for training, but improper use makes it extremely dangerous.

Gravity is everywhere—if you exceed your tolerance,

the sudden pressure could crush you severely.

You might even be unable to speak to adjust the setting, dying crushed inside the chamber!

Hence, one of the warning signs beside the chamber explicitly forbids increasing gravity by too much at once.

Yet Xu Jingming didn't just increase it—he doubled it!

Worse, even at thirty times gravity, he showed no signs of strain.

"I could handle thirty times gravity too—just barely holding on."

"I couldn't perform any training movements—it's meaningless."

"Xu Jingming is probably just testing his maximum load."

A fifth-rank mid-tier enhancement-type trainee shook his head.

But his words were instantly contradicted.

Inside the chamber, Xu Jingming moved his body effortlessly, even jumping lightly.

He showed no sign of straining.

"Damn, you're a fourth-rank upper-tier lightning-type adept."

"Holding thirty times gravity is already insane—how are you jumping around? Are you trying to make the rest of us look useless?!"

One trainee stared wide-eyed, utterly astonished.

"Xu's physique is this strong?"

Lin Hui in the crowd also froze.

He had once witnessed Xu Jingming slay a fifth-rank peak adept from Sakura Nation in the ruins.

But he assumed it was due to Xu's SS-rank ability.

He never imagined Xu Jingming's physique was stronger than some fifth-rank mid-tier adepts with A-rank enhancement abilities!

"Training at thirty times gravity is definitely more effective than normal gravity..."

Inside the chamber, after a brief stretch, Xu Jingming felt some pressure—

but it was still far from his physical limit!

He spoke again: "Increase it further—this time, sixty times gravity!"

PS: Happy Lunar New Year, dear readers. I've been extremely busy during the holiday, so updates will be fewer. I'll keep track of every missed chapter and make them up later...

No matter how many chapters I owe, I'll keep track and make them up later...
